Outreach Group

Outreach Group: Throughout the year this group focuses on needs of local, national and international organizations and individuals. These include (but are not limited to) ministries to the poor, the elderly, the homeless, college students and families with small children. We support  a variety of organizations including Families Forward, Irvine Unified School District and Community Action Partners. We provide support to Episcopal Relief and Development, Camp Stevens and United Thank Offering. We have provided outreach to those in Iraq and those affected by natural disasters. We have an annual Alternative Christmas Market which supports artisans from South America and Africa, Pediatric Cancer Research, etc. We also support low income Children's Center Families with an Adopt-a-Family Christmas program.

Typically, we try to focus on new outreach efforts every couple of months. We are always looking for new ideas and welcome new participants and encourage congregational support.
